Pancit Bihon (Rice Noodles with Chicken and Shrimp)
It is a tradition to serve this popular Filipino dish at birthdays and other special occasions because it symbolizes long life. Cooking it is actually quick and easy. It's the preparation that takes time because of all the slicing and chopping of the ingredients. To save time (and also because I hate chopping) I buy vegetables that are already shredded or chopped. This recipe has chicken and shrimp but you can also use pork and sliced Chinese sausage.
